[REPO] neofetch git snapshot now available in BL jessie-backports

neofetch is an alternative to screenfetch and has a slightly different feature set. Read more about it on its main homepage

Enable our jessie-backports repository as explained here.

Then,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neofetch

Consider installing some of the tools the neofetch package suggests to enable additional functionality:

apt-cache show neofetch # Read the Suggests: key and the long package description

^ neofetch says you are using 737M RAM, while screenfetch says 576M. What does "free" tell you?

And my conky says: 503M of 5.84G

It's like the old Chinese proverb:  man with two watches, never sure of correct time.
Or the temperature outside depends of which channel you are watching. 
And how big is your HDD? Manufacturers data rarely agrees with a multitude of apps that disagree with each other as well.

Memory is more complicated than what free is telling you. Have a peek at the available memory columns in top and htop.

The canonical source can be viewed with:

cat /proc/meminfo

This is what both screenfetch and neofetch are parsing
